Maizajo

The Hit List: New Mexico City Restaurants To Try Right Now

"Maizajo in Condesa is a taqueria, restaurant, and tortilleria rolled into one, and they’re doing incredible things with masa—just be ready for a 20-30 minute wait (it’s worth it). Once you’re in, try the ribeye taco that’s covered in shoestring fries, or the amazing vegetarian taco de papa con queso. While there’s an upscale upstairs area with a more refined menu of things like braised octopus with smoked chile salsa, the real magic happens downstairs in the crowded taqueria. From there, you can watch the army of cooks in action while you stand behind the bar, squeezing lime over your tacos." - guillaume guevara
